Drivers were asked to avoid Highway 986 near Little Buffalo, Alta., on Thursday after a semi truck rollover.

Mounties issued the alert at 10:28 a.m.

A follow-up alert was issued at 1:44 p.m. that the highway had been reopened.

Drivers are still asked to avoid all unnecessary travel as a result of whiteout conditions in the Peace River area.

Those who do travel are urged to slow down and drive to road conditions.
